Kyobo - Keibo

A Chinese thinker and scholar of I Ching in the Western Han Dynasty. Born in Dongqiu. His pen name was Junming. His surname was Li, later changed to Jing. He learned I Ching from Jiao Yanshou and was skilled at predicting disasters and other events, predicting them several months to a year in advance, and his predictions often came true. He served Emperor Yuan and rose to the position of governor of Wei County, but was executed for slander. His I Ching was characterized by the use of the Bunka Chokujitsu (six days, seven minutes) and the 12 Message Hexagrams to predict disasters and other events (abnormal phenomena that occur as a reflection of bad politics). The existing "Jingshi Yiden" (Jingshi Yiden) is mainly based on the calculation method, so it is doubtful whether it is Jingfang's theory.

中国、前漢の思想家、易学者。頓丘(とんきゅう)の人。字(あざな)は君明。姓は李(り)、のち京に改める。焦延寿(しょうえんじゅ)に易を学んで、災異を占うことにたけ、数か月から1年前に予言し、それがしばしば的中した。元(げん)帝に仕え、魏(ぎ)郡太守に進んだが、讒言(ざんげん)にあって刑死。その易学は、分卦直日(ぶんかちょくじつ)（六日七分）、一二消息卦を主として災異（政治が悪いときに、その反映として起こる異常現象）をいうのを特色とする。現存の『京氏易伝』は積算法を主とするから、京房の説であるかどうか疑わしい。
